Abstract The performance stability of the system can be improved by incorporating a solar chimney with phase-change material (PCM). It is recommended that instead using traditional multi-curved trough air collectors for greenhouses, phase change thermal storage wall construction vertical channels employed. Solar utilization rear wall. In order to verify feasibility system, collector test greenh...

For hundreds of years, chimneys have been swept with long steel brushes inserted manually into the chimney from the top and from the bottom. Chimney sweeps are exposed to soot, with concurrent exposure to sulfur dioxide and arsenic (Bagchi & Zimmerman, 1980). Soot is black particulate matter that is formed as a by-product of combustion or pyrolysis of organic (carbon-containing) materials, such...

Coal power stations as well as waste incinerators produce humid acid gases which may condense in industrial chimneys. These condensates can cause corrosion of chimney internal cladding which is made of stainless steel, nickel base alloys or non metallic materials. In the aim of polluting emission reduction and material optimal choice, it is necessary to determine and characterize all the phenom...
